The story of my life in a song

[next_to_normal]

(language NSFW)

The problem is, I'm only 28, but I totally identify with the 31-year-old. And have done since I was probably 23 or so. This is what happens when you peak at age 5. :-\ I have contemplated doing a personal post on my melancholic ~feels of late, but then I am overwhelmed by the depth of my grossness. (Also, TV, I love you, but you destroy my self-esteem.)

In conclusion: THERE'S NOBODY LEEEEEEEFT! I'M ALL ALOOOOOOOONE!

How did I miss this post? This song is beautiful and perfect. I love it. I am turning 28 this week, and I feel like a perfect mix of the two -- a veritable marble cake of platitudes and rage. So um, platitude + commiserate-y rageface. *nods* That is what I have for you.

FYI, "a veritable marble cake of platitudes and rage" is the best description ever.

I feel like late 20s comes with such a complicated emotional state. I mean, there's always that "omg I'm almost [fill in the blank]!" milestone panic, but 20s in particular, it's easy to feel like you're not quite a grown-up yet, and then suddenly you're hit with, "holy fuck I'm almost 30 and what have I done with my life?"

(By which I mean happy birthday! lol)
